General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dear thanks for the question.

I share your concerns. You need to take a course of antibiotic(amocacillin 500 mg three times a day for three days) and pain killer(ibuprofen 600mg twice a day). Use antibiotic ointment too for application on boil. Morever keep it clean by soap. Hydrogen peroxide is not required. Avoid sexual activities till it heals. You will be fine in three days.

If still persists go for swab culture and sensitivity for antibiotics. Meet a general practitioner.

I hope my reply will benefit you. Please write for follow up questions. I wish you rapid recovery. Please write a feedback. Thanks
